Yep... Nothing red in this drink!

I was using an older stash of Passion Fruit Syrup... It was way, way, way more brown previously. The new stuff that I just bought is more yellow than any other color. (Banana Yellow!) And if you add the slightest, red colored flavoring or liquor you get a pink drink. So that eliminates the Grenadine or Creme de Noyaux all together.

I've also backed off the Club Soda a bit to just 2 ounces. So, here's the latest version:

¾ oz Passion Fruit Syrup (Finest Call)
¾ oz White Rum (Cruzan)
¾ oz Gin (Barton’s)
½ oz Fresh Lime Juice (Or from Frozen Concentrate)
¼ oz Vanilla Syrup (Torani)
¼ oz Monin Orgeat (Or Finest Call)
2 oz Club Soda
Float Coruba Rum

Pour all the ingredients into your favorite shaker save the Club Soda and Coruba Rum. Add about six ounces of crushed ice. Shake the mistake and pour it, unrestrained, into a pint glass. Add the club soda and give it a stir and then float the Coruba Rum.

Okay folks... Let's hear the verdict... Is this the closest yet???
